More than half a million women die from every year, according to the World Health Organisation.

Awareness and early action save lives. Yet, stigma can prevent women from getting screened.

This , join UNFPA in encouraging regular checkups for yourself or someone you love.

Together, we can face this disease with strength, hope and healing 🧡

For women and girls in , the struggle to survive is also increasing their exposure to violence and exploitation.

Reported cases of forced and child marriage rose by 123% during the second quarter of 2026 compared with the previous quarter, as hunger, poverty, displacement and the loss of education and support systems deepen risks for girls.

Reported gender-based violence (GBV) incidents also increased by 27% between April and June 2026 compared with the previous quarter.

UNFPA and partners are responding by opening more Women and Girls’ Safe Spaces, increasing the number of people reached through GBV services to 65,000 per month, and providing case management, psychosocial support, protection services and support for girls at risk of child marriage.

At , my message was clear: when we invest in women's health, we invest in the health and wealth of nations.

I called for a fundamental shift in how we finance women’s health:

🔶 From burden to opportunity.
🔶 From costs to investment.
🔶 From a nice-to-have to a national economic priority.

Unlocking this capital requires governments, development finance institutions, philanthropy, the private sector, and academia working together.

Health systems around the world are under strain—and women and girls are bearing the brunt.

At the World Health Summit in Berlin, global leaders and partners came together to focus on building resilience, innovating for health, and unlocking new capital for women’s health.

Germany’s steadfast partnership is saving lives globally. In 2025 alone, Germany’s support to UNFPA reached 1.5 million women with essential reproductive health services.

As Executive Director Diene Keita highlights, investing in women’s health in new ways and expanding trusted partnerships is how we transform lives and build resilient societies for generations to come.

At 16, Neneh faced immense pressure to marry her cousin. Refusing to give up her future, she made the brave decision to seek help at a UNFPA-supported facility. With social work support and legal guidance, the marriage was stopped.

📚 Today, Neneh is back in school and pursuing her dream of becoming a gynaecologist.

Neneh’s story shows what happens when we stand up for adolescent girls: investments in education, health and social protection can help for good.

Every girl deserves to make decisions about her own body and her own future.
